1970 Corvette light problems
Hello, this is my first time to the Corvette Forum. I'm working on a 1970 corvette and the headlights work but not the Brake lights or the turn signals. Anyone out there have any ideas on where I can look to fix this problem. Thanks to all that reply.

1970 Corvette light problem
The running lights work and the ground wire is new. I put all new tail lights and ground wires in at the same time. When you turn on head lights the running lights work. All lights work except the brake lights and turn signals.

i agree with the above posts, most common reason why lights won't work is a burned bulb (w/c should be replaced), poor grounding system, corroded wirings/cross wired, loose connections. it would be best to check on this things.. good luck

Hazard lights and turn signal lights are on different flashers in our cars. But, it would prove the bulbs to be good. I would first look at the brake light switch, I had to replace mine when I first got the car years ago. Working good since then. You can pick up a switch for pretty cheap at Auto Zone or NAPA.

1970 Corvette light problems
Thanks for the conversation. I figured out the brake problem. When I turn on the emergency flasher it blows a fuse and made the brake lights not work. I'm still working on the turn signals. I'm new to this forum and I posted a separate message "1970 Corvette Emergency Flasher" and hope this doesn't confuse anyone.
